Thoroughly recommended in any case,

The Sleeve is recommendable in any case. Both qualitatively very well made and the leather used are beautiful in look and feel.
The fit for the iPad Air 2 is really great (not sloppy, remains stuck in the right sleeve and can be pulled out well anyway.
The material of the sleeve is apparently relatively insensitive and can withstand permanent bags and suitcases in and out again without scratches.
I was actually just looking for a temporary solution, because I had a quasi one of the first, the new Air 2 and the other cover manufacturers have 4-6 weeks estimated delivery time. But since the quality, use and processing are so good I have the other two cases (in the meantime also arrived) tasted only briefly and then I still come back to this Sleeve back, which I use to this day.
